How do I know if I am feeding my dog too much?

【Expert answer】
Any Q

A very common symptom of overfeeding is when a dog's bowel movement is normal in the morning but soft at night. While some breeds appear to be more prone to gas, experiencing frequent gas that is out of the ordinary in terms of smell usually suggests something isn't quite right in their system.


What happens when a dog eats too much?

When your dog eats too much it can lead to bloat, obesity, and, in puppies, skeletal issues. While it's tempting to give in to those puppy dog eyes and feed your pet as much as they want, it's not what responsible pet owners do.

How much food should a dog eat a day?

Assuming your dog has a typical activity level, toy breeds should have about ¼ cups to 1 cup, small breeds should have about 1 cup to 1 2/5 cup, medium breeds should have about 2 cups to 2 2/3 cups, and large breeds should have about 2 4/5 cups to 3 cups. -Senior dogs should be fed a little less than adult dogs.
